Interesting, 47trev.  This could be a usable set up for others of us who might need a new exhaust manifold someday when all ours crack up and break.

NICE...I'm envious of your intake and head. I too would love to have that set-up and the header is a great finishing touch. Well done!!
 Let us know how the HP and performance is. I would like a bit more power from my Frazer..

You just got that "mistake" kit a few days ago! Where do you get your energy from??? (Ship some of it if you can. I'll take all you can spare!)

Looks great.

What are you planning to do for a "surface treatment"?

I put some high heat paint on it for now but im going to have them ceramic coated
Im glad i decided to finish the front set because the collector ended up hitting the 4th tube and i had to change it and the 5th tube to make them fit better

They look very nice do you have any plans on making more and if so what would the cost be?

Lets see how the first set comes out.
Then Ill figure out my time and material and come up with a price.
I could make them dual headers like mine or a single outlet i have found colletors to make either.
I dont know what the different engine compartments look like so that might be a problem

Here you go dual headers on a Kaiser.
Today was the first time i started it with the edmunds intake dual carbs and headers and it started right up didnt even have to give it gas. It idled fine even though i removed the chokes.
I had no coolant in it no carb linkage and a hokey fuel system so i shut it down until im done with everything else.

I love it. Way better than swapping in a V8. The car still has it's heart!

I agree!  I really like the look of the twin carbs, there.
